2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IN HIS DRIVEWAY FROM A SHORT DISTANCE, THERE WAS A ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH SMOKE. THE CONTACT THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT OVERFLOWED TO THE ALTERNATOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (VISION AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LOCATED AT 920 PANORAMA TRAIL S , ROCHESTER, NY 14625) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM FAILED CAUSING THE COOLANT TO OVERHEAT AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, THE DRAIN TUBE AND THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE ENGINEERING OF THE DRAIN TUBE FOR THE COOLANT OVERFLOW TANK WAS DESIGNED TO BE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE ALTERNATOR AND IF THE COOLANT OVERFLOWS IT WOULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRIC ALTERNATOR CAUSING A POSSIBLE FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT IF HE WOULD HAVE DROVE A LONG DISTANCE HIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT CALL NHTSA AND GET A SERVICE MANUAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

I AM JUST WRITING TO COMPLAIN THAT 8 MONTHS AFTER RECALL 19V-813 WAS RELEASED THERE IS STILL NO FIX. MY WIFE'S CAR RANDOMLY STALLS ON HER AND IT'S NOT SAFE. WE KNOW HAVE OUR FIRST CHILD DUE IN SEPTEMBER AND SHE'S TERRIFIED TO HAVE TO DRIVE HER ANYWHERE AS HER JEEP IS HER ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

MY VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY TURNED OFF ON ME TWICE DURING MODERATE TO HEAVY BRAKING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON 8/20/2019 AND THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 12/3/2019. I BELIEVE MY ISSUE IS RELATED TO RECALL V62 AND I AM VOICING MY DISPLEASURE IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT IS TAKING FIAT CHRYSLER TO DESIGN A REMEDY. THIS RECALL IS ACTUALLY RECALLING A PRIOR RECALL, SO I WOULD SCRUTINIZE THE ENGINEERING TEAM THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY COME UP WITH A SUFFICIENT REMEDY, BUT I SUPPOSE THAT'S NOT MY POINT. MY POINT IS MY VEHICLE AND OVER 500,000 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WITH NO ETA IN SIGHT. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED HARD STARTING. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE RECALLED FUEL RELAY.THE RECALL IS FROM NOV 14,2019 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERV62 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER19V-813. LAST NIGHT THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AFTER STARTING IT WHILE SITTING AT A GAS STATION. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORST. UP UNTIL NOW, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. WHICH IS REALLY NEEDED BECAUSE OF THE SHIFT I WORK, (2ND) , AND THE DISTANCE OF MY COMMUTE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

FCA RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE VIN # [XXX] WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA14V-530) OR SAFETY RECALL R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THE SAFETY RECALL V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE. THIS SAFETY CONCERN CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT START DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP STOPPAGE, AN ENGINE STALL WHILE STOPPED AND/OR WHILE MOVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND I. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 OCCASIONS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY STOPPAGE WITH NO LONG TERM FIXES. I HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO AND ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
